This was organised by Ms Cox and Ms Myrtil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As part of our World of Work Week, all classes received either a visitor or a trip to a place of work to learn about what skills people needed for certain jobs. The professions the children learnt about included a nurse, a carpenter, an agent and an MP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Year 6 class had a visit from the Andrew Slaughter MP.&amp;nbsp;Andy Slaughter is the Labour MP for Hammersmith and Shadow Justice Minister.

Each performance was a great success and there were full houses for all the shows. Many parents have commented on these being our best shows yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the great demand for seats and the sad news that some families did not get tickets for some of the shows, we are in the process of changing the format so that this will not happen again next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DVDs.&lt;br /&gt;All three shows were professionally filmed (the morning performances of the KS1 and KS2 shows) and all three will be put on to one DVD which you will be able to order in January 2012. A form will go home in the new year which will need to be completed and returned with the money to the class teacher. Each DVD costs £5.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/287746052290061704-7168337746492884198?l=mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com/feeds/7168337746492884198/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=287746052290061704&amp;postID=7168337746492884198&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/287746052290061704/posts/default/7168337746492884198'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/287746052290061704/posts/default/7168337746492884198'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-concerts-dvds.html' title='Christmas Concerts &amp; DVDs'/><author><name>Wayne Leeming</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WiBSSHmbUkM/TusU7gME7LI/AAAAAAAABkM/QtwEb6ZpDbA/s72-c/dvds_1739548c.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287746052290061704.post-2386315243433321283</id><published>2011-12-15T18:14:00.003Z</published><updated>2011-12-16T10:00:41.594Z</updated><title type='text'>Record SATs Results</title><content type='html'>We are very proud of our latest Year 6 SATs results.

In order to do this, the school often needs to:&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Name children on the school’s website&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Put children’s work on the school’s website&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Place photographs of children on the school’s website&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Upload videos of children onto the school’s website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The school has the following policy, which is in line with the current government policy:&lt;br /&gt;Names of children, children’s work, children’s photographs and videos will be uploaded onto the school’s website separately. Under no circumstances will these be used in any combination e.g. a child’s image (photograph or video) may not be linked with that child’s name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From time to time the school also receives requests from groups with which we work e.g. BBC, Disney, Espresso, to allow them to use the same information (names, work, photographs and videos) as part of their work. The school insists these groups adhere to our and the government’s policy when using this information. In these cases parents and carers will be asked to sign an additional consent form from these groups giving them permission to use this information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the school appreciates that there may be some parents or carers who may for some reason do not wish to have their child’s name, work, photograph or video placed on the school’s website for extremely valid reasons. If this is the case, you need to state this in writing for the school’s records and address the letter to Mr Leeming within the next week. Please give the letter directly to Mr Leeming. The school will presume you have no objections if we have not received any letter by Friday the 16 December 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/287746052290061704-6770180695404546912?l=mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com/feeds/6770180695404546912/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=287746052290061704&amp;postID=6770180695404546912&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/287746052290061704/posts/default/6770180695404546912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/287746052290061704/posts/default/6770180695404546912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com/2011/12/childrens-names-photos-work-on-website.html' title='Children&apos;s Names, Photos &amp; Work on the Website'/><author><name>Wayne Leeming</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1rYz6N6eRfo/Ttup-f3n81I/AAAAAAAABiU/5hPv7wxKOb0/s72-c/internet-marketing.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287746052290061704.post-4326431945116649379</id><published>2011-12-03T11:02:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-12-03T11:10:10.205Z</updated><title type='text'>Ugandan Links</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u0b_QIBqWZg/TtoCPvdhRwI/AAAAAAAABiA/ymnSg89FKxQ/s1600/IMG_0138.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u0b_QIBqWZg/TtoCPvdhRwI/AAAAAAAABiA/ymnSg89FKxQ/s400/IMG_0138.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681856349342877442" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The International Ambassadors were invited to a meeting at the William Morris Academy to hear about the work they do with a group of Ugandan schools.

Many parents still stop on the zig zag lines either to quickly drop their children off or some even park there even though we have put a banner up on the fence to remind them that this is illegal.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;At the last JRSO committee meeting it was decided that the children are now going to fine parents who park illegally or who park in a dangerous way. Jaheim, the chair of the JRSO, has devised a fine and members of the JRSO will be on duty outside the school gates to watch for these illegal activities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/287746052290061704-6126858553391391558?l=mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com/feeds/6126858553391391558/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=287746052290061704&amp;postID=6126858553391391558&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/287746052290061704/posts/default/6126858553391391558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/287746052290061704/posts/default/6126858553391391558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com/2011/12/fines-for-illegal-parking.html' title='Fines for Illegal Parking'/><author><name>Wayne Leeming</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WeVo0JvSxd0/Ttn_7bTcoHI/AAAAAAAABhQ/dFFMdnqGMmo/s72-c/AB2545.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287746052290061704.post-1097465317035436350</id><published>2011-12-03T09:25:00.004Z</published><updated>2011-12-03T11:00:45.968Z</updated><title type='text'>Faitrade Products on Sale Again</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jJJN3-d-liU/TtoBUY7VKhI/AAAAAAAABh0/LpWJsKXfY_I/s1600/155-249-thickbox.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jJJN3-d-liU/TtoBUY7VKhI/AAAAAAAABh0/LpWJsKXfY_I/s400/155-249-thickbox.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681855329681615378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LY4VlrulTxc/TtoAR6eY8oI/AAAAAAAABhc/EV7nRlR1xtI/s1600/14379-geobar-mixed-berries-b.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 123px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LY4VlrulTxc/TtoAR6eY8oI/AAAAAAAABhc/EV7nRlR1xtI/s400/14379-geobar-mixed-berries-b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681854187635798658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Fairtraders have organised that from January the Melcombe Shop will again be selling Fairtrade products.

The school insists these groups adhere to our and the government’s policy when using this information. In these cases parents and carers will be asked to sign an additional consent form from these groups giving them permission to use this information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 23px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;However, the school appreciates that there may be some parents or carers who may for some reason do not wish to have their child’s name, work, photograph or video placed on the school’s website for extremely valid reasons. If this is the case, you need to state this in writing and address the letter to Mr Leeming within the next week. Please give the letter directly to Mr Leeming. The school will presume you have no objections if we have not received any letter by Friday the 12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;

There will also be an opportunity for the KS1 classes to see her before she leaves.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Duchess is keen to see our school going about its normal routine but due to her high profile, there will be a large amount of security before, during and after her visit. The school has been been asked not to allow any visitors into the school who would not usually be present on that day and at that time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The school will be taking photographs and these will be posted on our Community News Website.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you would like to read more about Debt Doctors or HRH the Duchess of Cornwall, please click on the links below:  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ddukonline.org/"&gt;Debt Doctors Foundation UK Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/personalprofiles/theduchessofcornwall/"&gt;The Duchess of Cornwall Websit&lt;/a&gt;e&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/287746052290061704-4006900085410820982?l=mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com/feeds/4006900085410820982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=287746052290061704&amp;postID=4006900085410820982&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/287746052290061704/posts/default/4006900085410820982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/287746052290061704/posts/default/4006900085410820982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mpsnewsletter.blogspot.com/2010/02/royal-visit.html' title='Royal Visit'/><author><name>Wayne Leeming</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VHGpYOlrmdI/S3RXcxwAznI/AAAAAAAABas/yh88snA5O5g/s72-c/531px-Camilla,_Duchess_of_Cornwall_-_ABr_1831JC143a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287746052290061704.post-1481829768500207639</id><published>2010-02-08T06:20:00.006Z</published><updated>2011-12-04T19:15:56.348Z</updated><title type='text'>Extended Day Newsletter</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gj6Ku0FN9LU/TtvG3sPl1xI/AAAAAAAABjc/Ll2S6NNuB8Y/s1600/newsletters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="331" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gj6Ku0FN9LU/TtvG3sPl1xI/AAAAAAAABjc/Ll2S6NNuB8Y/s400/newsletters.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Dear Parents / Carers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The latest (and first) newsletter from our extended day cluster of school was issued last week and was posted on the school's website.
